A famous elephant herd wandering in south-west China is finally heading towards home.
The herd of 14 wild Asian elephants crossed the Yuanjiang River in Yuxi City, Yunnan province, on Sunday night, a progress that the provincial government described as significant. As of Sunday night, the herd was still in Yuanjiang County, about 200km away from their original habitat in south-west Yunnan's Xishuangbanna.
The elephants attracted worldwide attention after they left the reserve in Yunnan province last year and walked more than 500km north. They reached the outskirts of Kunming, a major city, in early June, before turning south again.
